That's a good idea to have a 'bug-out' file box. I have one of those I used when traveling, need to rearrange things so it holds the most key items. Even if I never have to bug out because there's not enough tinder for a fire to sweep through, when I keel over my executor could start with that box to know what to do.
Well done chipping away at the shredding! I have lots of that to do and it has to be broken into little sessions so the motor doesn't overheat. Too many decisions deferred years ago amount to clutter today.
Another fun excursion popped up this week and another musical evening. It's been great, but boy I need to concentrate on chores for a while.
